New wiki article: Advanced Ogre Framework

[VEGETA_DTX]

Hey people I wanted to give some feedback on AOF and also ask one question

First I want to say that AOF is PHENOMENAL! I cannot believe how much I've learned from just editing and experimenting around with AOF in just a few hours per few days!
The big picture about the way Ogre(and the game cycle in general) works is getting clearer and clearer(although still unclear, I'm just a newbie) thanks to this framework! I REALLY feel like that boy from AOF introduction and I really see AOF as some Ogre who saved me and helped me sooo much (although I also don't want to kiss the Ogre! especially not the male one! )

I cannot believe that I, who am not too skilled with C++(I mean I understand it fully but I very often forget some basic and important rules and VERY OFTEN revisit C++ tutorials) and as someone who is THE ABSOLUTE newbie to the game engine architecture, already made my own 3rd person camera fully functioning in real time(sure still not the perfect one, but at least I get the basic idea behind it).
Therefore if a loser like me can advance very fast thanks to this framework then spacegaier and the whole Ogre community seriously deserve a medal!

Now I want to ask one question. Is the AppState.cpp intentionally missing because it is assumed to be done by the user?
And looking at the AppState.hpp I can conclude that that's the place where my animation calls should be placed?
If so, is there a specific reason why there is no example for that as well, since that would indeed explain many more things, mainly the animation.
I apology if this sounded ungrateful, it was in no way my intention, I just asked because perhaps there is a special reason for it? maybe making the example listener of some certain kind is automatically limiting or closing the options of using that listener for some OTHER kind of engine, so its simply left in the hands of user to design his own desired kind of AppState?(if you understand what I mean), or am I just simply talking nonsense

Thanks for reading!

[spacegaier]

First of all: Thanks for the nice feedback .

Concerning the AppState thing: There is no CPP file for that class since this class is only meant as an unimplemented base class for all the needed states classes of your application. And as there is nothing to implement here (just defining how all states will look like, e.g. they all have to have an enter(), pause() and resume() method), we do not need a CPP file.
So, you are never expected to work with the AppState class directly. In fact, you have to derive your own state classes from the AppState class, as shown with the MenuState and the GameState classes. These classes then actually implement (= fill the functions with content) the behaviour you need (e.g. your animation stuff).

Hope that I was able to make it clear. If not, just ask again.

[VEGETA_DTX]

Sure that absolutely made sense thanks a lot! That is actually even much easier than I thought...at least in some way
So its probably me and my ignorance that can't successfully do any animation inside AOF so far but hey I've never been more eager to go and experiment further so I guess its just a matter of practice and knowledge about the animation in Ogre.

Maybe you could tell me right away whats wrong with my animation:

if(OgreFramework::getSingletonPtr()->m_pKeyboard->isKeyDown(OIS::KC_W))
{
m_TranslateVector.z = m_MoveScale;

mAnimationState = m_pMilojkoEntity->getAnimationState("clip1");
mAnimationState->setLoop(true);
mAnimationState->setEnabled(true);
}

(covers himself in shame of his eventual ignorance ?)
Is that making sense at all? it compiles nicely and it runs and all but when I press or hold W no animation is shown at all, yet in the "CEGUI mesh viewer" that I've recently downloaded, animation is shown and working perfectly well?

Sorry for storm of questions I hope it didn't annoy you.

[spacegaier]

Sorry for storm of questions I hope it didn't annoy you.

No, that's what I am here for .

First a general thing: Where did you put this code snippet? If you have put it in s keyPressed() method then it will be only excuted once if the key is hit. If you put it in a getInput() method then it will be excuted as long as the key is pressed down. Just to make that clear...

Animation: I haven't used animations a lot in Ogre so far, but I think you actually have to forward the animation. With the lines you posted, you only tell the animation that it should be played in a loop and is enabled now. But you also have to call the method

Code: Select all

mAnimationState->addTime(timeSinceLastFrame / 1000);

in every frame in order to make it run. So, put this line e.g. in the update() method of your state and everything should be fine (at least I hope ).

[VEGETA_DTX]

Thanks very much yes, that snippet is inside getInput where it was by a default I just added those 3 lines for animation.
However when I added that line "mAnimationState->addTime(timeSinceLastFrame / 1000);" that you've told me, in the GameState::update() I compile and run but then it pops that yet again unavoidable error - "AdvancedOgreFramework has encountered a problem and needs to close"...

But that got to be something with my model then...what confuses me is that its working fine inside that mesh viewer.
But its fine, at least now I understand how to do it so I guess I just have to experiment with other models, especially with the ones included with Ogre since they are the safest I guess. I will also revisit the Ogre Animation tutorial on wiki and see if I missed something.

Thanks a lot!

[spacegaier]

Have a look at the Ogre.log. The problem causing the error should be listed there.

And I would put this animation enabling lines / setting loop in the keyPressed() method as you only want them to be executed once per key press (press the key = enable the animation).

[VEGETA_DTX]

Oh sorry I didn't even know about OgreLog, I think I yet have lot to learn.

These are the last several lines in the log:

17:26:10: Demo initialized!
17:26:10: Entering MenuState...
17:26:10: Pausing MenuState...

UPDATE:
I DID IT YAHOO!!! I just placed "mAnimationState = m_pOgreHeadEntity->getAnimationState("clip1");" statement into GameState::update function as well.
Although animation is incredibly fast, it ends the same second it starts, so I simply devided timeSinceLastFrame with 1000 and it works perfectly well - "mAnimationState->addTime(timeSinceLastFrame/1000);" now its all just a matter of experimenting and practice to set it all in a proper way, although it already works almost the way I want. Thanks a lot spacegaier!!!!!!!!

[ShadeOgre]

Where can this framework help the "Manual material manipulation"?

[spacegaier]

The usage is shown in the function createScene() in the GameState class.

[dave2041]

For easier switching between the states (SceneManager does not have to be refilled on every change). Why should I make a camera class for this?

OK i see. My thought was that the the control/movement code for the camera could be put together in a single class instead of spreading it out on several states. I guess this is more a matter of convenience. And with states having their own scene managers i think this could mess up the start up sequence of states. Might not be worth the trouble.

Doesn't it depend on the individual? for example i am using a third person camera, so i created a class to handle the camera positioning updates and control the camera that way, but others might only need the basic functionality that is provided. That's why this is a framework and not a game/application that serves any one specific purpose.

[Hegpetz]

After getting your framework going, I realized that if you by chance hit Cancel on the Ogre Rendering engine selection box, then it still runs the game anyway.

To fix this DemoApp's destructor now is

Code: Select all

DemoApp::~DemoApp()
{
	delete OgreFramework::getSingletonPtr();
	if ( m_pAppStateManager != NULL )
		delete m_pAppStateManager;
}

Inside OgreFramework::initOgre(...) make it now

Code: Select all

	if (!m_pRoot->showConfigDialog())
		return 0;

Simply just looking for the return value now. As well the return type must be changed to int (and in .hpp). Add the appropriate return 1; to the end of initOgre so when we check for it it'll be defined between the two.

Inside DemoApp::startDemo():

Code: Select all

	m_pAppStateManager = NULL;

	if (!OgreFramework::getSingletonPtr()->initOgre("AdvancedOgreFramework", 0, 0))
		return;

Must be set to NULL so you don't obliterate memory, and we need to see what we got back from dialog so we can cancel.

Now you should be able to cleanly cancel. Sorry I'm in a rush so messy code/example but you should be able to piece the pieces together. =)

P.S. Thanks for providing this, sure it will be helpful to many!

[Wolfe813]

I'd just like to make sure, as I've not found any licensing files in the source package for this... This is public domain, like the basic OGRE application framework, correct? I'm sure by the time I'm done with it, I'll have butchered it into a totally different creature, but I'd rather not violate the license, if there is one.

[spacegaier]

Yes, free for anything. Proceed with it, as you wish: Alter it and republish, delete it from your hard drive, enter funny words in the files, just as you feel up to .

*SNIP*

made the adjustments in my modified framework - works like a charm. A Very lots of thanks!

@ spacegaier - The latest Ogre version .. oh wait why am i telling you this, i already saw you edited my wiki article on building ogre with cegui whatever- when i said earlier some time, that your framework works with the Ogre 1.7 unstable trunk from SVN, this was still true, but since they have cut the ceguiogrerenderer build out of the the SVN, so you gotta build it yourself, thus it's not really compatible anymore, unless you follow that tutorial there

Just wanted to mention that, but while writing I noticed you would have to know this already anyways, and I think there was also a post in this thread about this, whatever, now this is for reader's information

Btw., i work with the latest stable CEGUI version (or even the one from the SVN trunk, can't remember, there was so much confusion in the last weeks of building Ogre and CEGUI) together with Ogre, and i had to make some adjustments for the AOF, but only small ones after all. Still you have to know what you do, or you will be troubled like us for some hours and have to dig yourself through docus and error messages. So to tell - it can be a pain to upgrade, but it's definitely possible. Works fine here so far, of course with the old CEGUI and the Ogre 1.7 it worked without any adjustments to make, and I think it might still very well work that way.

JFYI,

Ident

[Pie21]

Okay so I've got a bunch of crazy problems in all different areas.

When I run the pre-compiled AOF .exe it starts up and runs nicely.

When I copied all the code off the wiki into my own created files, I eventually got it to link and compile properly, and then I choose my OGRE settings, and then it crashes, one of them C++ segfaults, trying to write to 0xcccccccc. Seems it was trying to call the destructor on the AppStateManager before it had even been created... However this could be my fault; when I first tried compiling, the protected AppState destructor was apparently unavailable to the AppStateManager, so I made said destructor public. This made it compile, but I imagine it's also what's causing the problem.

EDIT: I checked the files in the downloaded package against the code I copied from the wiki, and they're different - AppState has a destroy() method instead of a virtual destructor, so that would probably help. I copied a couple of files across, but it still crash when trying to delete something. I guess I'll just copy them all across in the meantime but...

More oddly (to me, you guys probably know why), when I open the downloaded solution and compile it works happily, but when I get to the OGRE setting dialog, I can't choose any render subsystems - the list is empty. Checking out Ogre.log, it seems to find and install and initialise the D3D9 and OpenGL plugins successfully, and then at the end of the log it uninstalls and destroys them, but they never show up in the dialog box. Any ideas on why this would mess up?

EDIT: Okay just running the EXE directly works fine, but running through Visual Studio means there's no rendering subsystems available. So... I guess it's working to an extent. It's 1am so I'm too tired to investigate further for now Awesome job though. And I noticed it crashes if you try and jump back to the menu state more than once? Someone's probably mentioned that but it's too late.

Typically this is the case when you don't configure your working directory. Or you don't have a config file, then you just have to click into the box and make your settings and it will create you one.


About the other problems: I can't help you with that, just compare the code and look in your debugger why it exactly it crashes and where...

[Pie21]

Bingo! I was trying to change the project properties as little as possible, but a working directory is a good idea Running it through the EXE made everything work happily, so that would be a hint.

Thanks all! I always get stuck on this like this. I can usually nut out coding bugs, but you just have to learn this stuff. Now I've gotta get some rest so I can dig into the actual code tomorrow!

[Ident]

happy to have helped i don't know why this part of the project settings is sometimes missing or not copied,. we often encounter this problem, but now its symptoms it's usually easily solved so i also knew what would help you

[spacegaier]

I've set a working directory in the solution here on my PC, but apparently it isn't saved in the .SLN file, but I guess in this user file for the solution.

@Pie21:Did I corretly understand: The code in the wiki is not the same as in the downloadeable version? If so, I'll have to reupload it...

@Ident: Could you list the adjustments you made to get it running with the new CEGUI? As you said, it canbe tricky to modify things for new versions, so you could prevent others from that .

That will probably be it. Still weird they made it like this only with this path...

@Ident: Could you list the adjustments you made to get it running with the new CEGUI? As you said, it canbe tricky to modify things for new versions, so you could prevent others from that .

Difficult to recreate, we ran into a lot of trouble that kept as stuck for quite some time.

I'll give you code examples from my project, i guess things will be missing, hopefully someone will try the following changes out to check if changes are complete...


First: OgreFramwork.h

Code: Select all

	CEGUI::OgreRenderer*		m_pGUIRenderer;
	CEGUI::System*				m_pGUISystem;

2 Pointers we need.

I don't know if the original OFM uses pointers or references or instances for this, however if it aren't pointers you will have to search and replace "m_pGUIRenderer." with "m_pGUIRenderer->" and do the same with the System.

Now we create something for them to point at like this: (OgreFramework.cpp in initOgre(...))

Code: Select all

	//Init CEGUI::OgreRenderer, CEGUI::OgreResourceProvider and CEGUI::System
	CEGUI::OgreRenderer& r_GUIRenderer = CEGUI::OgreRenderer::create();
	CEGUI::OgreResourceProvider& r_ogreResourceProvider = CEGUI::OgreRenderer::createOgreResourceProvider();
	CEGUI::System& r_GUISystem = CEGUI::System::create(r_GUIRenderer, &r_ogreResourceProvider);

	m_pGUIRenderer = &r_GUIRenderer;
	m_pGUISystem = &r_GUISystem;

This creates our Renderer, and also adjusts the Resourceprovider to be working with Ogre. The imagecodec is default.
Then we create our System with the Renderer we just created.

The latter two lines btw give me a bad feeling in my stomach, but it seems to work, i don't know why. From my understanding the references' memory would be given free after the end of the function, when the } closes , but seemingly that's not the case. No wait, it's just a reference, not a.. ! Okay forget what i just said

However back to the topic: You've to call those lines AFTER creating the Ogre root, that is mandatory.

in the rest of this function there should be no other CEGUI related method calls except

Code: Select all

	CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().create("TaharezLookSkin.scheme"); 
	CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingleton().loadWindowLayout("AdvancedOgreFramework.layout"); 

Look for methods which according to your development environment do not exist, most probably you can delete the whole line in that case...

Err yea, I guess that's it. If someone wants to try this out, i ll be here to help.

[savuporo]

I was setting up this under Linux, found a couple little snags here and there.
deleting the input objects and then destroying the inputsystem would lead to a crash in OIS ( because when the factory shuts down it tries to loop through and access the already deleted objects) , this worked better:

Code: Select all

OgreFramework::~OgreFramework()
{
	if(m_pInputMgr)
	{
		m_pInputMgr->destroyInputObject(m_pKeyboard);
		m_pInputMgr->destroyInputObject(m_pMouse);
		OIS::InputManager::destroyInputSystem(m_pInputMgr);
	}

	delete m_pRoot;
}

Also i really had to force OGRE_THREAD_SUPPORT=0 across the project to avoid threading related asserts, couldnt figure out why exactly.

[savuporo]

Oh, now i remember, two other mods that i made:

Code: Select all

DemoApp::DemoApp() : m_pAppStateManager(NULL)
{
...
}
DemoApp::~DemoApp()
{
       ....
	if ( m_pAppStateManager)
		delete m_pAppStateManager;
}

Otherwise you'd get a crash if initalizing ogre failed for some reason, and the exception handler in main.cpp wont be able to catch the exception thrown because ~DemoApp destructor is called before entering catch handler.

[dave2041]

i'm confused. when you enter the gamestate isn't the menu state paused?

and by that logic if you then push on the pausestate from the game state shouldn't the gamestate be paused? untill you pop the pausestate. Thats how i thought it would work ~

Im confused too.. I agree with what you are saying but unfortunately that is not what is happening when I run my app.

This will point out to you what is happening in my program:

I have come along way with my game, and i thought it would be nice to have a pause state. having similar problems boiling down to calling the gamestates::enter function twice once i have visited the pause state. Did you figure out any kind of workaround?

I, too, have problems with switching between GameState and MenuState.

I get an ESP error when trying to re-enter the GameState, also I'd be happy with just having the GameState paused, but recreating is okaay, too - but then: why does it not work like this? couldn't fix it myself by looking at tthe code so far, also i dont know what the ESP error "means"...

sup ident, i don't have troubles switching between menu state and gamestate
i can switch between those as many times as i want. however if i go to the pause state from the game state then back to game -> menu then back into the game thats when the games enter function is called twice and so i get the scene manager already exists error. Whats an ESP error?
